status quo
Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski, a postdoctoral researcher and principal investigator of the study, said:
- About 40% of stroke survivors suffer from aphasia, a difficulty in understanding or producing spoken or written language caused by cerebrovascular accidents;
- In half of these cases, the language barrier persisted one year after the stroke;
- Aphasia has a broad impact on stroke survivors' functional capacity and quality of life, and is prone to social isolation
.
conclusion
The study enrolled 54 patients with acquired brain injury and chronic aphasia and their family caregivers (n = 43), using a crossover randomized controlled trial design in which participants were randomly divided into two groups to receive a 4-month singing intervention in the first or second half of the study in addition to standard care, and found that:
- Compared with standard care, singing interventions improved daily communication and responsive speech production from baseline to five months, and these changes were also sustained longitudinally (baseline to nine months);
- The intervention enhanced patients' social engagement and reduced the burden
on caregivers.
prospect
Study lead author Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski said:
- In addition to speech therapy, melodic intonation therapy is used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation;
- Singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in healthcare as part of aphasia rehabilitation;
- Group-based rehabilitation also provides an excellent opportunity
for peer support for patients and their families.
